Experienced Lawyer!!

I have never needed a criminal lawyer before. I was so pleased that I chose Mr. Silva & he took my case. He absolutely knew how to handle my case. He was quick, accurate and on target with the plaintiff. We won in just a matter of minutes. He was understanding of my feelings, Professional & kind. I h...ave no plans of needing him in the future but if a situation were to arise he would be my first & only call. Thank you Mr. Silva!

absolutely outstanding Matthew Silva and his team!

During the beginning months of phase 1 of covid, I wrecked my vehicle one night traveling home from work, and I was charged with DWI and lane failure. I casually knew of Mr. Silva, and several other attorneys in the area, through my work. It turns out, he was one of the most recommended by people I... know. After my initial conversation with his team - who have been knowledgeable, articulate, courteous, and patient with my calls and questions from the start of this process - he listened to my case and accepted retainer to represent me. From our first meeting he clearly described to me the many factors of my situation, answered all the questions I had, and was realistic and candid in his suggested approach and strategies for my defense. I felt informed about the decisions I made, and trusted in the methods he chose defending me, and proceeded with my case fully in his care. I was updated regularly about progress and his offices would contact me any time there was a development that needed to be evaluated, to be certain of our proceedings. Through his experience, judgment, and execution, my charges were dismissed! My case may have continued longer or been more expensive than some would like, but I would say it was worth every day of continuance, and that I got far more than I paid for. If you must deal with this type of legal situation, I highly and actively recommend attorney Matthew Silva to represent you.

Thank you so much for the great review. I believe I know this case and I want you to know you were great to work with. I am sorry that it took so long to resolve, but sometimes I just have to wait for everything to align! I am glad everything is dismissed and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

Mr. Silva is a professional that gets the job done.

If you’re looking for an attorney that will get you the most favorable outcome for your case, Mr. Silva is your guy! He has proven himself time and time again on a number of different cases for me, some criminal and some traffic. From the consultation to the trial he is up front about everything and ...he keeps you in the loop with all things pertaining to your case. He is confident in the court room and while other lawyers babble on, he presents a sound defense and picks apart the prosecution’s details. He got every one of my cases dismissed with no penalty. I even had a case outside of his operating area and he referred me a lawyer in that area that was just as ferocious as he is, and that I had the same confidence in, and that got the job done in the same fashion. He is without a doubt the best Attourney in the area.

DUI, Leaving the Scene, and Failure To Report

Aggressive, proficient and on point! Constant counseling on best approach and best actions to take going forward. A true professional in a court room. Mr. Silva was able to get all three of my chargers dropped without question. Additionally, he is doing everything to get it all expunged. He has my h...ighest recommendation.

Phenomenally Grateful

From the very beginning Matt and I’m his team were straight forward and extremely professional. This was first (and hopefully last) run in with the law so I had no idea what to expect. They ensured I was informed with what I needed to know and kept me from allowing mind to spiral. I strongly recom...mend Matt Silva to anyone in need of his services!
